everything wrong with Season 1 of Tokyo Ghoul
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
What a coincidence. I've been binging CinemaSins videos for the past couple days! That video hit the nail on the head with just about everything. I'm never going to get over the teacup cutting Kaneki's hand. Like seriously does the author just forget his own lore? They introduce a fuckton of characters one after the other without developing them. If the show is cutting all this stuff from the manga and rushing through the material, why not cut all these extra pointless characters? So ONE EYED OWL is probably the Anteiku Owner (still don't know his name). I thought this might be the case, but the show completely abandoned everything going on in the episode before the season finale, so... Like Daos said, the whole "anti-discrimination" message of the show is mind-numbingly stupid from the get go. FEEL SORRY FOR MONSTERS THAT EAT PEOPLE. Wow, there's actually people in the comments section defending this shit. So there's some Twilight Zone out there where people actually do like this show. I mean, I knew it had to be true, because it was "top requested" and is super-popular, but to actually see it... Yeah yeah, I know Youtube comments are the asshole of the internet, but I couldn't resist! Plus, not all channels' viewers are horrible. Some have a dedicated viewerbase that are actually pretty decent. It's clear this particular video brought out the Tokyo Ghoul fanboys though. -
As if we didn't have enough reasons to not take you seriously already. >

Really not much to go off from that. Ichigo's hair is supposed to be spikey! I hope the movie has better music than that. Something similar to the great score the series had. Hopefully that's just teaser music. Either way, I'm seeing it regardless, heh.

Tokyo Ghoul is so bad we forego the decades long rule of "not before midnight!" Nobody wants this thread.

LOL. I'd imagine combining the two would probably make it exponentially worse than either one on its own? Probably? Or would it being porn cancel out the anime part of it? "Oh he's just watching porn that happens to be animated. He's not one of those weirdos who gets something else out of it besides fap material!" :D I gotta hear more about this though.

Might be a good idea to do something like that with him since I sure didn't give a shit when he died when it actually happened. Marco was barely a character, lol. -

But Bulma did look a little bit older during the Buu arc. Maybe it was just the hairstyle. -
Tokyo Ghoul episode 12: "GHOUL" discussion
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I couldn't figure out where the ratings were on their website. The "brilliant" HxH only one decimal point higher than Naruto? LOOOOOOOL. I think many anime fans must grade high, or are very generous. Or maybe it's like that 7/10 thing that goes on with videogames. Or maybe it's a lot of new fans and so the first shows they see don't seem so bad. I dunno', though. I think if Dimension W was the first anime I ever saw, I would never watch anime again. Hmm. It's like someone who is straight edge opening a bar. This is a great beer, I promise! Whale Biologist.... hahahahahahaha. -
Tokyo Ghoul episode 12: "GHOUL" discussion
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Did you see GXP? It was pretty horrid, and the ratings were so bad it got down-slotted heavily pretty quickly, which almost never happens. Still, the kind of badness in that show I don't think is the same kind here. That show knew what it was. Tokyo Ghoul is just an endless series of baffling incompetent decisions. Hmm, most coal miner's probably hate coal, and coal mining. Pretty much every movie, book, or documentary deals with how horrible it is to be a coal miner. They do it because it pays well. I get what you're saying, though. Main character (can't remember his name at the moment, maybe that's a good thing) was shown to be a technophobe who hated coils, so it doesn't make much sense for him to do a job that surrounds him with them. That might be because barely any of it was translated at the time. Which probably isn't a good sign, either, LOL. But apparently, the anime compressed a fuckton of chapters into those episodes, like some ungodly amount. Still, I can't imagine how that story would be much better or make much more sense if had a lot more room to breathe. Like you said, just the main premise of the story was nonsensical. https://myanimelist.net/anime/31163/Dimension_W ... The rating for this series 7.33. I just skimmed some of the reviews and they're glowing. What the fuck... what the fuck what the fuck! https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=215112 Oh, thank God, they're not all crazy. -

Yeah, I said that on the last page. I mean hell if nothing else Naruto and Tsunade could team up against Pain. -
Tokyo Ghoul episode 12: "GHOUL" discussion
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Ok, how the hell do you end the season with no wrap-up or checking on the other characters, and abandoning multiple things that were going on before this episode? Did we really need a whole 20 minures on mind games and torture? Did they not plan out anything?! -
Tokyo Ghoul episode 12: "GHOUL" discussion
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I wouldn't say Deadman Wonderland sucked. It was fun and over the top and unlike this show wasn't taking itself too seriously nor thought it was making some grand statement. The anime was good enough for what it was but you could tell there was more potential there it never got to simply because it was so short. Hell Toonami fans so strongly demanded it be run again that it returned long after the first airing, which is the only time something like that has happened with this block. With this show I've heard the manga differences so I suppose it's possible, but I dunno. Is it really worth finding out either way? Plenty of other anime or manga I'd rather dive into than prove for myself whether the Tokyo Ghoul manga really doesn't suck. -

ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
What's the worst? Tokyo Ghoul, Dimension W, or Tenchi Muyo GXP. Hmm, on the Toonami Showdown Podcast, Gman decided to read the manga to compare. Apparently the anime cuts out a lot of the character growth, interactions, plot details, etc, to rush to get to the fights and gore. Order of events are also rearranged and things in gemeral are altered a bit. So characters are better developed and what they do makes a lot more sense, story is better, etc. Supposedly. I almost want to read it out of morbid curiousity, but this show has me so infuriated (especially considering what we could've gotten instead), that I don't know if I want to bother. The whole franchise is pretty tainted for me at this point. -

The so-called elites of the elites are fucking worthless. Hell they didn't even take any bullets for anyone this time! They're still alive! They all just stood there! Or hell, who knows, maybe Danzo was ordering them to suck all this time. That's the next plot twist. > -

You meant Pain? Or were you talking about how Jiraiya trained Pain and Konan and left them to their own devices? -

So the air push Pain needs to recharge. Interesting. So he does have limits. Giant Rasengans. Nice. It's that neurotic ungraceful frog LOL. Isn't there some way Katsuyu could instantly confer all the information so she doesn't have to keep telling him stuff? I feel like an ability like that wouldn't be out of the realm given what we've seen her do so far. Pain, you're cracked. You don't know what you're talking about. Did he not throw the Rasen-Shuriken before? AAHHH it ends there?! -

Or maybe instead of having her save everyone, let some of them die, so Pain's attack has more impact besides knocking some buildings down, and Tsunade still gets to fight. I mean hell I wouldn't even care if she lost, since everyone got whipped by Pain, but Kishimoto could have at least let her fight. Either way, this was a dumb and lazy way to take her out of the fight. -

In response to the whole THIS ABILITY WILL SHORTEN YOUR LIFESPAN, that never matters. Hell, it didn't matter in FMA Brotherhood, it sure as fuck isn't going to matter here. Naruto brought the badass giant frogs. EXTREMELY CONVENIENT that Tsunade with Katsuyu was able to protect everyone and also leave her powerless so she couldn't fight Pain... At least Shino's clan protected themselves. Oh hey the show remembered Hinata exists. Okay that healy chompy jutsu is bullshit. So I guess Pain is able to fly the same way he controls air as a weapon. Naruto got strong enough to one shot a Pain? Come on now. -
